Common classification of protective gloves

There are many types of protective gloves. Medical protective gloves include inspection gloves, sterile medical gloves, and medical X-ray protective gloves.

Management Category: Class I Medical Devices, Classification Name: General Medical Supplies

1) Background and structure

It belongs to medical polymer materials and products. Existing examination gloves are generally made of polyethylene (PE), which is a thermoplastic resin made by polymerizing ethylene. PE is odorless, non-toxic, feels like wax, has excellent low temperature resistance (minimum use temperature can reach -100 ~ -70 ), good chemical stability, can withstand most acid and alkali erosion (not resistant to oxidizing properties) acid). Insoluble in common solvents at room temperature, low water absorption and excellent electrical insulation. However, because these gloves are not elastic, they are usually in a relaxed state when worn. When examining patients, they do not feel good when touched. It is not easy to detect the mass on the patient s body. Small and difficult to touch, and gloves are also easy to use when in use Qi affects touch feeling, as shown in Figure 1.

A new type of medical examination gloves has been developed. The main body is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). A layer of EVA magnifying film is added to the main body of the glove, which can enlarge the touch sensation and make the masses and knots that are not easily detectable with bare hands. Obvious touch. A plurality of ventilation holes are provided in the middle part of the glove main body and the EVA amplification film, so that the gas entering the glove can be discharged without affecting the touch feeling. The EVA magnifying film is located in the glove body and has a size matching the entire glove body. The thickness is between 0.01 and 0.08 mm. The surface of the EVA magnifying film is coated with a layer of nano liquid to form a nano liquid film with a thickness of 4 to 9 microns. Gloves are divided into mittens and five-finger gloves. Vent holes are generally 3 to 5 and the diameter is 3 to 8 mm.

2) Use

Used to check breast, rectum, lower limb arteries, etc.

Management Category: Class II Medical Devices, Classification Name: Surgical Gloves

1) Background

It belongs to medical polymer materials and products. Common sterile medical rubber gloves are used in the hospital operating room. The disadvantages of these gloves include: different production processes, too little talcum powder coating; laborious for doctors with larger hands; most of the hands are washed without alcohol before surgery. Soak the arm with a sterilizing solution. After applying the sterilizing solution, the arm becomes astringent. When wearing gloves, the mouth of the back of the hand is easy to reverse, so that the back of the glove contacts the skin, which may cause contamination and fail to reach sterility. Requirements, as shown in Figure 2.

A new type of disposable sterile medical gloves has been developed. A layer of peelable film is affixed to the outer layer of the back of the glove. The film extends from the mouth of the sleeve to the far end. The contact avoids secondary pollution and meets the requirements of sterility. As shown in Figure 3: 1 is the film, 2 is the back of the glove, 3 is the peeling angle, and 4 is the cuff.

2) Use

It is used for surgery and inspection that require aseptic conditions.

3. X-ray protective gloves

Management Category: Class I Medical Devices, Classification Name: Medical Radiation Protection Supplies

1) Definition

The utility model belongs to medical radiation protection articles and devices, which are used for hand protection against scattered X-rays during X-ray diagnosis and interventional treatment to reduce the harm of scattered rays to the human body.

2) Background

When performing X-rays on patients or performing interventional surgery on patients, they need to be completed with the assistance of X-ray irradiation. In this process, doctors usually operate in different positions when treating and treating lesions. The patient performs X-ray transmission or femoral artery puncture of the thigh root, and performs interventional operations such as the abdomen such as the liver, the chest such as the heart, and the head such as the cerebral blood vessels. Under X-rays, doctors can perform X-ray transmission or surgical operations under X-ray surveillance. In the prior art, when X-ray transmission or interventional surgery is performed, doctors do not have special protective facilities to prevent X-rays. The protection of light rays, over time, doctor's fingers will be greatly irradiated by X-rays, which will inhale a large amount of radiation, which will seriously affect the health of medical staff. As a result, people made lead gloves, but because the lead gloves are thick, the fingers are not flexible , Affecting operation. However, the use of ordinary medical gloves lacks protection for doctor's fingers due to the lack of radiation protection performance, and cannot shield the doctor during transmission and surgical operations, effectively protecting the doctor's hands.

The newly developed X-ray protective gloves, including the glove body, are a protective rubber layer made of a flexible material. The protective rubber layer is provided with a heavy metal powder layer that can block X-rays, and the metal powder layer is adhered to the metal powder. The heavy metal powder layer fixed in the protective rubber layer is provided with a textile fiber layer inside the protective rubber layer, which improves the operator's comfort during use. The structure is simple, practical, convenient, and has good protection performance. While the fingers can be flexibly operated, it can also effectively prevent radiation hazards to the operator's hand during clinical X-ray fluoroscopy and interventional surgery.

3) Use

Widely used in clinical X-ray fluoroscopy and interventional surgery.
